Abstract

The depletion of fossil fuel reserves has led to a global energy crisis, with increasing demand for alternative energy sources. Diesel fuel shortages, especially in countries like Indonesia, have driven the exploration of biodiesel as a sustainable alternative. This study aims to convert waste cooking oil (WCO) into biodiesel, with the addition of a cetane number improver (CNI) to enhance its performance in diesel engines. The biodiesel was produced through methanolysis, and 2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate (EHN) was added to improve combustion and reduce engine knocking. The results show that the produced biodiesel had a density of 856 Kg/m³ for B0, 872.7 Kg/m³ for B0 with CNI, and 872.1 Kg/m³ for B50CN. Viscosity values were 2.32 cSt for B0, 5.645 cSt for B50, and 4.722 cSt for B50CN. The cetane index was 49.2 for B50 and B50CN, while B0 had a value of 48. The emissions measured included CO levels of 194 mg/Nm³ for B0, 254 mg/Nm³ for B50, and 280 mg/Nm³ for B50CN. NOx emissions were 852 mg/Nm³ for B0, 755 mg/Nm³ for B50, and 825 mg/Nm³ for B50CN. Oxygen content was 15.9% for B0, 14.9% for B50, and 16.2% for B50CN. The findings indicate that adding EHN to WCO biodiesel improves fuel properties but increases emissions of CO and NOx. Overall, WCO-based biodiesel with EHN is a viable alternative fuel that balances performance improvements with environmental considerations.

Abstract

This research endeavors to explore a novel alternative fuel source by combining waste used cooking oil and corn oil to create a biodiesel blend. The study addresses two main objectives: first, to investigate the properties of used cooking oil biodiesel with the addition of methanol and NaOH catalysts, and second, to assess engine performance using the biodiesel blend. The experimental approach employs transesterification, varying the catalyst quantity during biodiesel production. Preceding diesel engine testing, properties such as viscosity are assessed, revealing improved values meeting Indonesian National Standards post-catalyst addition, albeit with a decrease in calorific value. Engine performance is then evaluated, demonstrating that as the catalyst content increases, torque and thermal efficiency decrease, while specific fuel consumption (SFC) rises. Notably, the study concludes that a higher catalyst ratio aligns fuel properties closer to government-set standards. The most favorable engine performance is observed in the B50 sample with a catalyst variation of 1000 ml of methanol and 25 g of NaOH, showcasing superior torque, thermal efficiency, and opacity values compared to higher catalyst variations. This research underscores the importance of catalyst optimization in achieving an environmentally friendly biodiesel blend with enhanced engine performance.

Abstract

Balikpapan City has an area of 508.9 km2 which has 646,727 people living here. Balikpapan City is also known as a port city because it has two domestic ports namely Kampung Baru Port and Semayang Port. Currently, the port of Kampung Baru is still active in carrying out daily activities, namely the klotok boat crossing and also the dock for motor boats berths. The condition of mobility for crossing vessels in the port of Kampung Baru that uses boat klotok is inadequate due to the lack of supporting components for access to the ship so the safety of this port is questioned. besides that, klotok ships are also only able to carry a maximum of 21 passengers and 5 motorcycles and access to loading and unloading exits is very unsafe. The purpose of this study is to design a crossing ship that can be used safely for transportation for passengers and motorcycles that will pass the sea lane for crossing to the North Penajam Paser area. The ship is designed to have an easy access door or ramp door for passenger and motorcycle mobility to improve the safety of crossings at the port of Kampung Baru. The parent Design Approach method is used in this project, this method is one way of designing a ship using comparison or comparison, namely by taking a ship that is used as a reference for a comparison ship that has the same characteristics as designed ship. The main focus to be achieved in this research obtained a General Arrangement which has more cargo than the klotok ship with a capacity of 25 passengers and 10 motorcycles, and the dimension of the ramp door used in this final project is L 1.50 m and B 1.50 m. The Principal dimension of the ship obtained in this research is Loa = 12.50 m, Lpp = 11.50 m, Lwl = 11.96 m, B = 5.75 m, B1 = 1.64 m, H = 1.8 m, T = 0.85 m, Cb = 0.56, Vs = 15 Knots. The results of this study provide a good idea of the modernization of a comfortable ferry fleet for this area.

Abstract

The potential for biodiesel to become the main fuel in the future seems to be getting brighter with the enactment of government policies related to the implementation of the Euro 4 standard. In addition, the government has also launched de-carbonization to reduce the greenhouse effect by referring to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) plan which sets a target of reducing world carbon emissions by 40% by 2030 and 70% by 2050. To answer this challenge, this research aims to find out the bio-diesel production process by utilizing waste cooking oil (WCO), the next step is whether the biodiesel produced has content properties that are following the quality standards set by the government, the final step is that the bio-diesel is tested on a test engine to know the value of the engine performance produced. In this research two types of methods are used to solve the problem, the first is the transesterification method, which is a method commonly used in the process of making biodiesel, this method utilizes a catalyst to separate pure biodiesel from glycerol, in this research using methanol and NaOH catalysts. The second method is the experimental method, which is testing biodiesel directly on the engine so that the resulting engine performance values including power, torque, and SFC can be known. The test obtained results in the form of content of fuel properties still included in government standards which include Density, Viscosity, Flash Point, Pour Point, and Cetane Number. The best torque value is in the B15 fuel variation at engine speeds of 1400 RPM and 1600 RPM, for the best effective power value results in the B15 fuel variation using engine speed of 1600 RPM, and the best specific fuel consumption value in the B15 fuel variation at 1000 RPM engine speed. So it can be concluded that mixing coconut cooking oil with pure cooking oil into biodiesel can be used as an alternative fuel and has a good impact on diesel engine performance.

Abstract

Many industrial diesel engines are used as the main engine of the ship. Apart from being relatively cheaper, the availability of industrial engine is also very abundant, and the repair process is also not too complicated. However, when viewed from the SOLAS regulations related to the main requirements for a ship propulsion engine, it must also be considered, because it operates at sea, so that ship engines must be tougher than industrial engines, especially related to engine performance when experiencing rolling and trim. The purpose of this research is to test the feasibility of industrial diesel engines being operated on ships. By using a water-cooled single-cylinder diesel engine which is commonly used in small ships. The experimental method was used in this research to obtain optimal results according to the conditions in the field, the engine was made in three variations, namely the normal condition (without inclination angle), the rolling condition of 150, and the trim condition of 50 which complies with SOLAS regulations related to the inclination angle. The results of the research obtained torque, Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC), and engine thermal efficiency in various engine variations. The highest torque is in the condition of the 150 rolling engine, which is 13.87 N.m. The lowest SFC is in the condition of the 150 rolling engine, which is 194 gr/kW.h. and the highest thermal efficiency was also obtained at the condition of the 150 rolling engine, namely 44.9%. The higher the engine speed, the higher the engine performance value in rolling 150 conditions, and the 50 trim conditions experience an increasing trend, but in low rotation conditions (750 Rpm) the performance decreases. Seeing the results obtained, a water-cooled single-cylinder diesel engine can be used as a small boat propulsion engine.

Abstract

One way to reduce the scarcity of fuel oil is to make environmentally friendly alternative fuels such as biodiesel. The utilization of biodiesel can be a new energy source and also help reduce the excessive use of fuel, especially diesel and diesel oil in Indonesia. In Indonesia, the amount of palm oil will reach 49.7 tons by 2021, and this data is up 2.9% from the pre-vious year. Palm fruit is processed into CPO. More palm oil processing will produce waste called POME (Palm Oil Mill Effluent). The diesel engine transesterification method is suitable for the manufacture of biodiesel. The amount of base on the catalyst's surface affects the catalyst's activity. So that the higher the base value on the catalyst, the higher the yield of biodiesel that will be produced. The biodiesel produced will be tested on a 4-stroke diesel engine with a B5 and B10 blending composition. The study's results showed that the density and viscosity values for B5 were 5.8 cSt and 810 Kg/m3 and for B10 were 6.3 cSt and 860 Kg/m3. As for engine performance, power, torque, and SFC for B5 fuel at 4000-watt load conditions and 1000 Rpm, engine speeds are 1.18 Kw, 11.28 Nm, and 256.8 gr/Kw. B10 at 4000-watt load condition and 1000 Rpm engine speed is 1.16 Kw, 11.12 Nm, and 269.2 gr/Kw.

Abstract

Oil palm fruit production in East Kalimantan continues to increase in line with high market demand. This situation demands efficient transportation facilities to transport the harvest from plantation areas. Furthermore, annual forest fires, particularly in peatland areas, are often difficult to manage due to limited land access. Based on these two challenges, this study proposes the design of a multipurpose vessel capable of both transporting oil palm fruit and supporting firefighting. The vessel is designed with main dimensions of L = 20 m, B = 4.9 m, H = 2 m, T = 1.5 m, and an operating speed of 8 knots. The cargo hold has a carrying capacity of 67.3 tons with a single trip distance of 12.3 km. The main innovation developed is a conveyor belt with hydraulic arms to increase the efficiency of the oil palm fruit loading and unloading process in the plantation area. Furthermore, the vessel is equipped with an external firefighting system with a capacity of 90 m³/hour with a horizontal spray range of 30 meters and a vertical height of 20 meters. The fire monitor operates using 7 kW of power to generate sufficient pressure to extinguish fires in areas difficult to reach from the riverbank. This multipurpose vessel is designed to provide an integrated solution for the oil palm plantation logistics chain while improving the response to forest fires in the Muara Kaman District.

Abstract

The Polbeng Research Vessel is a small research ship developed by Politeknik Negeri Bengkalis (Polbeng) in collaboration with CV. Fatih Bahari Engineering. The vessel is constructed from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and has principal dimensions of 9 m length overall (LOA), 2.2 m breadth, and 1.2 m depth, powered by an 85 HP outboard engine. This study aims to evaluate the seakeeping and motion comfort performance of the vessel to support research activities involving personnel and onboard equipment. The seakeeping analysis is conducted using a frequency-domain approach based on Response Amplitude Operators (RAOs), where ship motions are evaluated under regular wave conditions. Four operational cases are considered, involving two wave heights (0.2 m and 0.4 m) and two wave encounter directions, namely beam seas (90°) and head seas (180°). Three ship motions are analyzed: heave, roll, and pitch. The results indicate that roll motion in beam seas conditions exhibits the most significant response compared to other motions, which is consistent with the theoretical characteristics of small vessels having shorter restoring arms for roll motion. Overall, the vessel’s motion responses remain within acceptable limits and satisfy established comfort criteria based on NORDFORSK 1987, STANAG 4154, U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), ISO 2631/1, ISO 2631/3, and BS 6841:1987 standards. The findings provide technical insight into the seakeeping behavior and comfort performance of HDPE-based small research vessels and serve as a reference for the design, evaluation, and development of environmentally friendly research and working vessels to enhance operational safety and effectiveness.
